Afternoon Drive with Xolani Gwala

The African National Congress (ANC) says logistical issues led to the seemingly low turn out at its election manifesto launch in Nelson Mandela Bay over the weekend.

EWN's Rahima Essop says the party recorded only 42 000 people entering the stadium, while it had initially expected at least 110 000 supporters. Of the 42 000, not all appeared to be seated in the stadium.

According to Essop, the empty seats have raised questions among the public amid leadership tensions within the party.
